Junk food tax?
Hogg also floated the idea of a "junk food tax" as a way of dealing with what he calls an urgent health crisis.
"It's something we're currently looking at as an issue and a possibility," he said.
However, Finance Minister Carole Taylor said while the idea of a junk food or fat tax is interesting, it might be difficult to implement in the real world.
"As a theoretical idea, I think it has some appeal," Taylor said. "In terms of how you would practically do it, I think there'd have to be a lot of thought about that."
Taylor added that if there were any way to get more trans fats out of our diet, she'd be in favour of it.
